Lansing motorcycle accidents are generally evaluated under the law of negligence in the state of Michigan. A person found to have negligently operated a motor vehicle in Lansing, Michigan may be required to pay any damages including personal injury caused by driver negligence, either to person or property. Generally, people who operate motorcycle s in Lansing, Michigan must exercise "reasonable motorcycle e under the circumstances." Failure to use reasonable care when operating a motorcycle is the basis for damage claims in most Lansing motorcycle accident lawsuits.

Michigan courts look to a number of factors in determining whether a motorcycle driver was negligent.
Some examples of factors evaluated to determine motorcycle driver negligence in Lansing Michigan can include, but are not limited to, the following:

Motorcycle was driving too fast or too slow

Motorcycle driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol

Motorcycle failed to signal while turning

Motorcycle driver disregarded weather or traffic conditions

Motorcycle driver disobeyed traffic signs or signals

Motorcycle driver failed to drive on the right side of the road

Motorcycle texting while driving

Motorcycle driver changing lanes to quickly

Motorcycle driver error

Motorcycle equipment failure

Speeding

Driving in the wrong lane

Lane splitting

Excessive speed

Alcohol

Driver negligence

Driving too fast around corners

Motorcycle driver error

Lane slide-outs by motorcycle driver

Motorcycle driver falls due to overbraking

Right-of-way wiolations by motorcycle drivers

Not wearing appropriate gear such as motorcycle helmets, long sleeves and full length pants.

Motorcycle tire punctures and sudden flats

Not being seen by other motorists

A motorcycle driver may also be liable for a Lansing motorcycle accident if a Michigan traffic court determines that the auto accident was caused by intentional or reckless conduct.

A driver who is reckless is one who drives unsafely, with willful and wanton disregard for the probability that the driving may cause a motorcycle accident or a multi-vehicle accident involving a motorcycle and/or related injuries.

In another example, if a mechanic fails to properly repair a motorcycle, and the failure causes a motorcycle accident in Lansing Michigan, the person who improperly repaired the motorcycle, and his motorcycle repair shop, may be liable for injuries sustained. Other motorcycle driver negligence factors such as poorly maintained roads and malfunctioning traffic control signals can also contribute to the cause. Improper design, maintenance, construction, signage, lighting or other highway defects, as well as improper striping on the road's passing lanes, a sharp obstruction or problem with the roadway that obstructs drivers' vision, or poorly placed trees and utility poles can also cause serious motorcycle accidents in Lansing Michigan. Finally, if a motorcycle accident in Lansing Michigan is caused by an intoxicated driver, a bar or social host may be liable for damages sustained if they served an obviously intoxicated guest, who then drives and causes a motorcycle accident in Lansing Michigan.

In Lansing motorcycle accident cases, it is essential that measures be taken promptly to preserve evidence, investigate the motorcycle accident in question, and to enable physicians or other expert witnesses to thoroughly evaluate any injuries sustained.
